TXU Energy Retail Company LLC TERMS OF SERVICE AGREEMENT Prepaid Service Thank you for choosing TXU Energy Retail Company LLC ( TXU Energy ) as your retail electric provider ( REP ). We recognize you have a choice, and we appreciate your trusting us to meet your needs. This Terms of Service Agreement ( TOSA ) explains the terms and conditions that govern your electric service with TXU Energy. This TOSA, together with your enrollment documentation, your Electricity Facts Label ( EFL ), your Prepaid Disclosure Statement ( PDS ), and the Your Rights as a Customer ( YRAC ) document compose your Contract for electric service with TXU Energy. At TXU Energy, we work hard to provide straightforward terms of service that clearly define our commitment to you. That s why we have organized this TOSA in a question and answer format to make it easier for you to find the answers to your questions. If you ever have any additional questions regarding your electricity service, please do not hesitate to contact us. By accepting service from TXU Energy, you have agreed to be bound by the terms of your Contract. You acknowledge that you are a residential customer, and that you have the responsibility for making sure you have selected the electricity plan that is the most appropriate one for which you qualify. Taxes and other charges for residential customers may be different than those for business customers. For details of the particular electric product you have purchased, please see your EFL and PDS, and for your general rights as an electric customer, please consult your YRAC. PLEASE PRINT OR SAVE A COPY OF THIS TOSA FOR YOUR RECORDS. Contact Information: Name of Provider: TXU Energy Certificate Number: 10004 Mailing Address: P.O. Box 650764 Dallas, Texas 75265-0764 Customer Assistance: 972-791-2888 1-800-242-9113 (toll free) (24hrs/day, 7 days/week) Hearing & Speech Impaired (TTY): 1-800-735-2989 (toll free) (24hrs/day, 7 days/week) Fax: 1-800-232-9488 (toll free) Website Internet Address: www.txu.com E-mail: txuenergy@txu.com Service Outage Reporting: Please call the appropriate number that corresponds to the Transmission and Distribution Utility ( TDU ) service area in which you live: Oncor 1-888-313-4747 CenterPoint Energy 1-800-332-7143 or 713-207-2222 AEP 1-866-223-8508 TNMP 1-888-866-7456 Sharyland 800-545-4513 THE BASICS Who are we and what do we do? TXU Energy is a retail electric provider, or REP. We provide electric service to your home by purchasing wholesale power and arranging delivery on transmission and distribution lines. What is an ESI ID? ESI ID stands for Electric Service Identifier. This is the number we use to identify the location where electricity is being delivered. What is a TDU? A Transmission and Distribution Utility ( TDU ) is a company that owns and maintains transmission and distribution lines, as well as your electric meter. When you buy electricity from TXU Energy, we have to arrange for electricity to be delivered to your home through a TDU. The TDU is responsible for reading your meter and restores power if there is an outage. Where can I find the rules and statutes that are mentioned in this Terms of Service Agreement? Whenever you see a reference to the Public Utility Commission of Texas ( PUCT ) Substantive Rules, you can view a copy at: http://www.puc.state.tx.us/agency/rulesnlaws/subrules/electric/ Electric.aspx What are my rights as a prepaid electric customer? Your rights as a prepaid electric customer are summarized in your YRAC. In addition, you should know that we will not deny service or require a prepayment or deposit for service based on a customer's race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, marital status, lawful source of income, level of income, disability, familial status, location of a customer in an economically distressed geographic area, or qualification for low income or energy efficiency services. Also, we will not use your credit history, credit score, or utility payment data to set a price for any contract that is 12 months or less. What if I need a copy of my Contract in Spanish? Qué hago si necesito una copia de mi Contrato en español? Your TOSA, EFL, PDS and YRAC are available in Spanish by contacting us. Usted puede obtener los documentos de su Contrato (TOSA, EFL, PDS y YRAC) en español comunicándose con nosotros. What if I have a dispute or a complaint? If you have specific comments, questions, complaints or billing inquiries, please contact us. If for any reason you are unsatisfied with our response, you may contact the PUCT. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Am I eligible for prepaid service from TXU Energy? You are eligible if your service location has a provisioned Advanced Metering Systems meter installed. Additionally, as a condition of enrollment in prepaid service you are required to establish and maintain an active communications method, which can include an email address or a text-message capable phone number, in order to receive important communications from TXU Energy regarding your prepaid account. Critical care or chronic condition customers are not eligible for prepaid service from TXU Energy. If TXU Energy receives notification from your TDU that you do not have a provisioned Advanced Metering Systems meter installed, if you choose to opt out of having an Advanced Metering Systems meter at your premise in accordance with PUC rules, or if we are unable to communicate with you because of your failure to establish or maintain an active Preferred Communication Method, TXU Energy will diligently Page 1 of 7

attempt to notify you that you are ineligible to continue receiving prepaid service. If you fail to contact TXU Energy after receiving this notice to select another product with postpaid service, fail to let us know that you have enrolled with another REP, or if we continue to be unable to reach you or you are, then we may seek to terminate your service following proper notice or, alternatively, we may attempt to transition you to a TXU Energy competitively offered, month-to-month product with postpaid service in a manner that seeks to avoid a service disruption. We will not charge you a fee for this transition, including an early termination or disconnection fee. We will provide you with notice of a transfer to a product with postpaid service and deliver to you the new product s Terms of Service and Electricity Facts Label. Transferring you to this month-to-month postpaid product does not relieve you of your obligation to pay us or the TDU for services rendered. What type of electricity plan do I have? The PUCT requires classification of your electricity plan into one of three categories fixed rate, indexed, and variable price. TXU Energy may offer prepaid service as a month-to-month indexed product, a term indexed product, or a term fixed rate product. TXU Energy does not offer variable price products. What is a Month-to-Month Indexed Product? Month-to-month indexed products have a contract term of 31 days or less and a price that changes according to a pre-defined pricing formula that is based on publicly available indices or information. The price for month-to-month indexed products may also change without advance notice to reflect actual changes in TDU charges; changes to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas or Texas Regional Entity administrative fees charged to loads; or changes resulting from federal, state or local laws or regulatory actions that impose new or modified fees or costs on TXU Energy that are beyond our control. We can change non-price related provisions of your Contract and the pricing formula by providing you with advance notice, with the exception that we cannot change the length of your contract term. We will notify you at least 14 days before the change is applied to your account or otherwise takes effect. If you do not cancel your Contract before the effective date of the change, the change will become effective on the date stated in your notice. Notice is not required for a change that benefits you. What is a Term Indexed Product? Term indexed products are the same as month-to-month indexed products, except that the contract term is three months or more and we cannot make changes to the pricing formula during the term of your contract. What is a Term Fixed Rate Product? Term fixed rate products have a contract term of at least three months. The price of a term fixed rate product may only change during the contract term to reflect actual changes in TDU charges; changes to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas or Texas Regional Entity administrative fees charged to loads; or changes resulting from federal, state or local laws or regulatory actions that impose new or modified fees or costs on TXU Energy that are beyond our control. Price changes resulting from these limited circumstances do not require us to provide you with advance notice. We can change non-price related provisions of your Contract by providing you with advance notice, with the exception that we cannot change the length of your contract term. We will notify you at least 14 days before the change is applied to your account or otherwise takes effect. If you do not cancel your Contract before the effective date of the change, the change will become effective on the date stated in your notice. Notice is not required for a change that benefits you. CONTRACT EXPIRATION NOTICE If you are on a product that has a contract term of at least three months, we will send you a written notice at least 30 days but no more than 60 days in advance of contract expiration. You do not need to take any action in response to the contract expiration notice in order to continue to receive service, which will be provided under a TXU Energy default month-to-month renewal product. The contract expiration notice will let you know what you need to do if you want to renew your service to another term or change your service plan. The EFL for your month-tomonth default renewal product, which will describe its price and other terms, will be included in your contract expiration notice. PRICING AND FEES How do I find out what my price is? Your EFL will provide examples of the average prices per kwh for your product based on different usage levels. The average prices disclosed on your EFL include the Energy Charge and any Daily Charge or other recurring charges which we expect to charge you on a regular basis. These prices do not include taxes, reimbursement for gross receipts taxes, municipal administrative fees, TDU non-recurring fees, and other non-recurring fees that TXU Energy may charge, if applicable, or separate fees for products or services other than electric service that may appear on your account if you purchase them. You agree to pay the price as defined in the Contract and all amounts shown on your account that are charged by TXU Energy consistent with this Contract. What are TDU non-recurring fees? These are fees that you must pay that originate from your local TDU and are passed on to you. These fees usually result when you ask that a certain service be performed. These fees are not included in the average price per kwh shown on your EFL. The specific price for each TDU fee will vary depending on the TDU that serves your particular ESI ID. What non-recurring fees, other than TDU fees, can I be charged? You may also be charged fees for services that TXU Energy provides. To find out what fees apply to your electric service plan, please refer to your EFL. These fees may include: Agent Assist Fee We may charge a $3.95 fee when you use a TXU Energy customer care representative to help you make a payment by credit or debit card. To avoid this fee, you can use our automated phone service, pay online through TXU Energy Express Pay or TXU Energy MyAccount or pay at an authorized payment location. Insufficient Funds Fee We may charge a fee up to $30 for each payment that is not processed due to insufficient funds or other type of bank return or payment rejection. Document Processing Fee We may charge a $2 fee for each request for a paper copy of your Summary of Usage and Payment Document or other account documentation. To avoid this fee, you may access your usage and payment history on our website. We will not charge a document fee for providing your Summary of Usage and Payment Document to an energy assistance agency. Disconnect Recovery Charge If your service is disconnected, we may charge you a Disconnect Recovery Charge up to $30 in order to Page 2 of 7

reconnect your service. This charge would be in addition to any TDU charges related to disconnections/reconnections. Minimal Recharge Fee If you make a payment of less than $25, we may charge you a Minimal Recharge Fee of up to $4.95. Early Cancellation Fee We will not charge you an early cancellation fee. Other Fees If additional electric service fees apply to your product, they will be described in your EFL and PDS. Will my account include fees for other products or services? If you are separately purchasing other products or services from us or third parties in addition to retail electric service (such as, for example, energy-efficiency products), you agree that charges or fees for those products or services, which may be recurring or nonrecurring, may appear on your TXU Energy account, where they will be listed separately from your electric service fees. The terms, conditions and pricing applicable to such products or services can be found in the separate agreement you receive when you sign up for them. DEPOSITS Do I need to pay a deposit? If you are a customer applying for prepaid service with TXU Energy you will not be required to pay a deposit. Will I be required to pay a deposit if I transition from prepaid service to postpaid service? If you are an existing TXU Energy customer with prepaid service and you want to transition to a postpaid service plan you may be required to pay an initial deposit with TXU Energy if your prepaid service has been terminated or disconnected for nonpayment during the last 12 months of service or you are otherwise unable to demonstrate satisfactory credit. The deposit will be due within ten days following issuance of proper notice that it is due. What if I still owe TXU Energy money from a prior Contract? If you are a returning customer who owes TXU Energy any past due amounts, you may be required to pay these past due amounts before we will be able to accept you for prepaid service. COMMUNICATIONS How will you communicate with me if I won t be receiving a bill? To sign up for prepaid service with TXU Energy you will first need to establish an active communication method, which can include an email address or a text-message capable phone, in order to receive important communications ( Preferred Communication Method ). We will then use this Preferred Communication Method to provide you with any required or important information such as low balance alerts, payment confirmations and other important account activities or required contract notices. If you ask us to send you standard text messages as your Preferred Communication Method you may be required to take additional actions to affirmatively opt-in to receiving these text messages by your wireless carrier and you may also be subject to standard text message charges from your wireless carrier. What happens if you are unable to communicate with me? Prepaid service requires that you establish and maintain an active Preferred Communication Method so that we may send you important or required communications regarding your prepaid service. TXU Energy has no obligation to resend any account communication to you, whether required or optional, if your message could not be delivered to you as a result of your failure to establish, maintain or update your Preferred Communication Method. We may attempt to contact you via any alternative written, verbal or electronic communication methods including email, text message, and calls to your home, cell or work number; however, we have no obligation to do so. When you provide us with your contact information, you are expressly consenting to being contacted via any or all of those methods by a live person or automated service, to the extent allowed by law. You may incur fees for calls and messages from your telecommunications provider for these communications. If we are unable to communicate with you because of your failure to establish or maintain an active Preferred Communication Method, we may seek to terminate your service following proper notice or, alternatively, we may diligently attempt to work with you to transition you to a product with postpaid service in a manner that seeks to avoid a service disruption. We will not charge you a fee for this transition including an early termination or disconnection fee. We will provide you with notice of the transfer to the product with postpaid service and deliver to you the new product s Terms of Service and Electricity Facts Label. CONNECTION BALANCE, CHARGES AND PAYMENTS, AND CURRENT BALANCE What is a Connection Balance? A connection balance is the minimum balance that is needed to establish prepaid service with TXU Energy or to reconnect prepaid service with TXU Energy following a disconnection ( Connection Balance ). Please note that, in addition to your Connection Balance, you may be required to pay TDU fees and any past due amounts owed to TXU Energy to initiate prepaid service. For more details regarding your Connection Balance, please consult your PDS. How will I be charged? Prepaid service requires you to prepay for your electric service, so you will not receive a monthly bill or invoice. Your initial payment must cover the Connection Balance, any previous debt owed to TXU Energy, and any applicable TDU fees (such as move-in fees) to start service. In order to keep your electricity service flowing, you must maintain a current balance of more than the disconnection balance described in your PDS. If your current balance falls below the disconnection balance, your service may be disconnected or interrupted. Your current balance will be reduced on a daily basis according to your usage. Additionally, any non-recurring fees from your TDU and/or TXU Energy may reduce your prepaid account balance as well as all billed taxes, including sales tax, and reimbursement for the state miscellaneous gross receipts tax as applicable. How will my current balance be calculated? Your current balance will be updated on a regular basis to reflect charges and payments to your account. Charges will post to your account as they are received throughout the day. These will typically include charges for electricity usage, sales tax, gross receipts tax, TDU charges, and other fees. If we receive a usage correction from your TDU, the corrected electricity usage charges will be applied to your account. As these charges are received and posted, they will reduce your current balance. Payments will post to your account as they are received throughout the day. Payments made at authorized locations will be posted immediately. Any payments made through non-authorized locations or channels may not post to your account until they are verified. As Page 3 of 7

payments are received and posted, they will increase your current balance. Normally, your current balance will reflect the date of the meter read used for billing from the TDU along with your current balance, and estimated time or days of paid electricity remaining. However, if the TDU is unable to provide actual or estimated meter readings on a timely basis, we may have to base your current balance on an estimate of your usage. Once the actual or corrected meter readings are received from the TDU, we will make adjustments to your account. Will I receive a confirmation of payment? Yes, we will send you a confirmation of payment to your Preferred Method of Communication or will send you a confirmation code that permits you to access such information. What if I owe TXU Energy money from a different account? If we determine that you are responsible for an outstanding balance or credit from a previous TXU Energy residential account, that balance or credit will be transferred to your current account after notification to you, and will be shown separately on your account no sooner than 10 days after the notice. Can I request a Summary of Usage and Payment Document? Yes, you can request a Summary of Usage and Payment Document of your prepaid account for the last 12 months by calling TXU Energy. Additionally, you may also access your usage and payment history on our website. PAYMENT OPTIONS What are my options for making a payment to my account balance? We have several convenient payment options that may be available to you: Online Payment You can choose to make a payment by credit or debit card for no additional charge by paying online through TXU Energy MyAccount or TXU Energy Express Pay. Pay Over the Phone - You can choose to make a payment by credit or debit card for no additional charge by calling our automated telephone service. Third-Party Account Payment Centers Select authorized account payment centers allow you to pay for your TXU Energy prepaid service in person by cash, cashier s check or money order. Please visit our website to find nearby authorized payment center locations. Payment centers may charge a fee for payment processing. Agent Assisted Payment You can call us and ask for a TXU Energy customer care representative to help you make a payment by credit or debit card. We may charge you an Agent Assist Fee of $3.95 for agent assisted payments but you can avoid this fee by using our automated phone service, paying online through TXU Energy MyAccount or TXU Energy Express Pay, or paying at an authorized payment location. PAYMENT ASSISTANCE What if I can t afford to pay for my electricity? The TXU Energy Aid program is available to customers who have severe financial hardships and temporarily may be unable to pay for their electricity. This program is funded in part by contributions from TXU Energy and our employees and customers. Contact us if you wish to contribute to this program. If you are in need of account payment assistance through TXU Energy Aid, please call 211 or contact your local health and human services department or the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. While TXU Energy will work with energy assistance agencies to help obtain energy assistance payments for requesting, eligible customers, please note that not all federal, state or local agencies will provide aid to prepaid customers. Do you provide a discount to low-income customers? Yes, TXU Energy administers a special discount reserved for lowincome customers that have been qualified by the Low-Income Telephone & Electric Utilities Texas Program ( LITE UP ). Qualified customers will automatically receive the LITE UP discount, subject to funding approved by the Texas Legislature, for any energy consumption during the qualifying months of the year. If you receive the LITE UP discount it will be reflected on your Summary of Usage and Payment Document. In addition to this state-funded program, you may qualify for additional discounts that TXU Energy voluntarily offers to low-income customers. Please contact us if you believe you qualify for a discount. Are there other payment assistance options available? You will be eligible to establish a deferred payment plan if you have a deficit balance of $50 of more on your prepaid account balance that occurs during an extreme weather emergency (as defined by PUCT Substantive Rule 25.483(j)(1)) or a state of disaster declared by the governor if you are in an area covered by the declaration and the PUCT has directed that deferred payment plans be offered. You will also be eligible for a deferred payment plan if you have a deficit balance caused by an underbilling of $50 or more by TXU Energy. If you establish a deferred payment plan, no more than 50% of any future payments will be applied to your deferred balance with the remainder allocated to your prepaid account balance. Your deferred payment plan document will have the specific details of your plan. If you do not comply with the terms of your written deferred payment plan, your entire outstanding amount of the deficit balance will become due immediately and will be applied to your prepaid account balance. If your prepaid service is disconnected before you have made full repayment of any deficit balances under any deferred payment plans, then your deferred payment plan will be deemed to be in default and any future payments you make will first be applied against any deferred balances before being applied to the negative prepaid account balance. TERMINATION What happens if I terminate my Contract? You have the right to terminate your Contract and choose another TXU Energy product or another REP without having to pay an early cancellation fee. Can TXU Energy terminate my Contract? We may terminate your Contract and close your account if your account remains interrupted or disconnected for more than 5 consecutive business days. In this event, you may apply to re-enroll for electric service on another product or you may contact another REP to reestablish your electric service. If my Contract is terminated, will I still have to pay you? Yes. Termination of your Contract does not excuse you from paying any outstanding amounts. If either you or TXU Energy terminates your Contract, all amounts owed by you to TXU Energy shall become immediately due and payable. Your obligations to TXU Energy will continue until you have paid all amounts due. Also, if you do not pay the amount due or make acceptable payment arrangements, we may use debt collection agencies, small claims court, or other remedies allowed by law to collect the amount owed, including reasonable fees Page 4 of 7

and expenses (including attorney fees) that we incur in the collection process. By providing telephone numbers, including cell and work numbers, to TXU Energy, you are expressly consenting to being contacted on those numbers for any purpose related to your account, including debt-collection, by a live person or automated service. What happens if I have a positive balance and my Contract is terminated? If you elect to enroll in a non-prepaid product with TXU Energy upon termination of your prepaid account any positive credit balance will be transferred to your new account unless you instruct TXU Energy otherwise. If you elect to enroll for service with another REP following termination of your prepaid account you will be entitled to receive a refund if you have a positive balance following application of any outstanding amounts owed to TXU Energy including deferred balances and allowed fees. TXU Energy will automatically send you a refund check if the amount of the refund is greater than $5.00. You should receive the refund check in approximately 10 business days after TXU Energy receives final usage data from your local TDU. If the amount of the refund is less than $5.00 you may specifically request that TXU Energy refund the balance. DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION Under what circumstances can you interrupt or disconnect my service? THE CONTINUATION OF YOUR ELECTRIC SERVICE DEPENDS ON YOU ESTABLISHING, MAINTAINING AND/OR UPDATING YOUR PREFERRED COMMUNICATION METHOD AND YOUR FAILURE TO DO SO OR YOUR FAILURE TO PREPAY FOR SERVICE ON A TIMELY BASIS COULD RESULT IN YOUR SERVICE BEING DISCONNECTED WITH LITTLE NOTICE IF WE CANNOT SEND REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS TO YOU REGARDING YOUR PREPAID SERVICE OR IF YOUR CURRENT BALANCE FALLS BELOW THE DISCONNECTION BALANCE. We will send OR ATTEMPT to SEND a low account balance warning to your Preferred method of communication at least 1 day AND NOT MORE THAN 7 DAYS before your CURRENT balance is estimated to fall below the disconnection balance. We will not interrupt or disconnect your electric service on weekend days, during any periods in which the mechanisms for payment specified to you in your PDS are unavailable or our call center is not operating, or during an extreme weather emergency, as defined in PUCT Substantive Rule 25.483(j)(1). We may request immediate interruption/disconnection of your electric service without prior notice under specific situations, including the existence of a dangerous condition at your service address or evidence of theft of service. We will not interrupt/disconnect your electric service for amounts you owe for other products or services you have purchased from us that are in addition to your electric service. How do I reconnect my prepaid service and how quickly will it be restored? Once you have restored your current balance to a level at or above the Connection Balance, which will require you to pay off any negative balance and all applicable TDU fees, we will send a reconnect order to your TDU within 1 hour. Your service should be restored within 2 hours, but restoration will depend on the capabilities of your TDU. Do I still have to pay if my service is disconnected? Yes. If your service is disconnected, you will be required to pay us any past due amounts, as well as any required TDU fees. What if I have a medical condition that requires my service to remain connected? TXU Energy does not provide (or will not continue to provide) prepaid electric service to residential customers for whom an interruption or suspension of electric service will create a dangerous or life-threatening condition, and who meet the TDU criteria of a critical care or chronic condition residential customer. If, after enrollment, TXU Energy receives notification from your TDU that you have been designated as a critical care or chronic condition residential customer, we will diligently work with you to transition you to another product with postpaid service in a manner that seeks to avoid a service disruption. We will not charge you a fee for this transition including an early termination or disconnection fee. If we are unable to reach you or you do not respond to our attempts to transition you to another product, we may transfer you to a competitively offered, month-to-month postpaid product. We will provide you with notice of the transfer to the postpaid product and deliver to you the new product s Terms of Service and Electricity Facts Label. Qualification as a critical care or chronic condition residential customer by the TDU does not relieve you of your obligation to pay us or the TDU for services rendered. GENERAL RIGHT OF RESCISSION: If you are switching to TXU Energy from another REP, you have the right to rescind your Contract without fees or penalties of any kind by contacting us before midnight of the 3 rd federal business day (includes Saturdays) after the date you first receive your TOSA. You may rescind this switch by calling 1-800-242-9113 (toll free), faxing 1-800-232-9488 (toll free), or e-mailing txuenergy@txu.com. Please provide your name, address, phone number, ESI ID or account number, and a statement that you are rescinding your Contract under the 3 day right of rescission period. SWITCH-HOLD: A switch-hold may be applied to your ESI ID if you enter into certain payment arrangements. Additionally, your TDU will apply a switch-hold to your ESI ID if there is evidence of meter tampering. A switch-hold means that you will not be able to buy electricity from other companies until you have satisfied the terms of your payment arrangement or, in cases of meter tampering, have satisfied payment of the applicable charges and backbilling. While a switch-hold applies, if you are disconnected for not paying, you will need to pay TXU Energy to get your electricity turned back on. ASSIGNMENT: You may not assign this Contract, in whole or in part, or any of the rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of TXU Energy, which consent may be withheld or granted at the discretion of TXU Energy. We reserve the right to, without your consent but with notice to you, assign your contract to another retail electric provider in the event of an acquisition, merger, bankruptcy, or other similar event. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY: YOU AGREE THAT FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS, INCLUDING ACTS OF GOD, ACTS OF ANY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY, ACTS OF TERRORISTS OR ENEMIES OF THE STATE, ACCIDENTS, STRIKES, LABOR TROUBLES, EVENTS OF FORCE MAJEURE Page 5 of 7

OCCURRING WITH RESPECT TO THE TDU, ERCOT, OR OTHER THIRD PARTY SYSTEMS OR ASSETS, OR ANY OTHER CAUSES AND EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL MAY RESULT IN INTERRUPTIONS IN SERVICE AND THAT WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THOSE INTERRUPTIONS. You also agree that we are not responsible for generating, transmitting or distributing electricity to your service address AND THAT WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICES. FURTHERMORE, YOU AGREE THAT TXU ENERGY S LIABILITIES NOT EXCUSED BY REASON OF FORCE MAJEURE OR OTHERWISE SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT ACTUAL DAMAGES, AND THAT NEITHER TXU ENERGY NOR THE CUSTOMER SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR INDIRECT DAMAGES. YOU WAIVE ALL OTHER REMEDIES AT LAW OR IN EQUITY. THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CAUSE OF ANY LIABILITY OR DAMAGE, INCLUDING IF THE DAMAGES RESULT FROM SOLE, JOINT, CONCURRENT, OR ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE. THERE ARE NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES TO THIS CONTRACT. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES: THE ELECTRICITY SOLD UNDER THIS CONTRACT WILL BE SUPPLIED FROM A VARIETY OF GENERATING SOURCES. IF YOU PURCHASE A RENEWABLE ENERGY PRODUCT FROM US, YOU ARE FINANCIALLY SUPPORTING RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION SOURCES, AND THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY CREDITS (RECs) WILL BE RETIRED TO AUTHENTICATE THE RENEWABLE ENERGY COMPONENT OF THE PRODUCT. YOUR TDU DOES NOT NECESSARILY DELIVER, AND YOU WILL NOT NECESSARILY RECEIVE, THE SPECIFIC ELECTRICITY GENERATED FROM THAT SOURCE AT YOUR SERVICE ADDRESS. TXU ENERGY MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS CONTRACT AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, CONFORMITY TO MODELS OR SAMPLES AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. MISCELLANEOUS: Your Contract constitutes the entire agreement between you and TXU Energy concerning your agreement to purchase electricity for the covered ESI ID(s) and supersedes any prior agreements. There are no prior or contemporaneous agreements or representations affecting this Contract other than those expressed in these documents. No amendment, modification or change to this Contract shall be enforceable unless reduced to writing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if any provision of this Contract is deemed to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, you and TXU Energy agree that it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it valid, legal and enforceable. If any such provision cannot be modified in a manner that would make it valid, legal and enforceable, such provision shall be severed from this Contract, and all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect. Any failure on TXU Energy s part at any time to enforce any term or condition of our service or to exercise any right under this Contract shall not be considered a waiver of our right thereafter to enforce each and every such term and condition or to exercise such right or any other right under this Contract. Obligations regarding indemnity, payment of taxes, limitations of liability, and waivers will survive the termination of the contract indefinitely. THIS CONTRACT IS GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS. THE TEXAS UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE (which can be viewed at http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/statutes/bc.to.htm) APPLIES TO THIS CONTRACT AND ELECTRICITY IS DEEMED A GOOD. YOU CONSENT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN TEXAS AND AGREE THAT THE RESOLUTION OF ANY DISPUTE MUST BE BROUGHT, FILED AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN TEXAS, REGARDLESS OF WHO INITIATES THE ACTION. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: In the unlikely event that we are unable to resolve a dispute or complaint you may have to your satisfaction, we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. We and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to: claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory; claims that arose before this or any prior Contract; claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and claims that may arise after the termination of your Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, including, for example, the PUCT. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. No amendment of this arbitration agreement shall apply to disputes or claims of which we had actual notice from you on the date of the amendment. You agree that, by entering into your Contract, you and TXU Energy are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, and the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement. This arbitration agreement shall survive termination of your Contract. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, AAA Rules ) of the American Arbitration Association ( AAA ), as modified by this agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of your Contract. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for the court to decide. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party s individual claim. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR Page 6 of 7

REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING IN ANY PROCEEDING THAT ORIGINATES IN A SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND ANY RELATED APPEAL. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL OR TO CLASS ACTION OR CLASS ARBITRATION: TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW ALLOWS, YOU AND WE AGREE THAT (1) YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND (2) NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL SEEK OR SUPPORT ANY ORDER CERTIFYING AN ACTION OR ARBITRATION INVOLVING YOU AND US AS A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS ARBITRATION OR JOIN OR PARTICIPATE AS A PARTY OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY ACTION OR ARBITRATION BY ANOTHER PARTY AGAINST EITHER YOU OR US. FEDERAL POWER ACT: Nothing in this Contract shall be construed to suggest that anything associated with the sale of electric energy pursuant to this Contract will bring such sale or the business practices of TXU Energy, its affiliates, or its wholesale providers of electricity (1) within the plenary jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or (2) outside of the exclusions presently provided for such sales and business practices under Sections 201(b)(2), 210, 211, and 212 of the Federal Power Act.
